Sugar Cookie Fun

Do you want the BEST sugar cookie recipe? My mom got this 30 years ago from a lady she worked with at the church office building. She and my aunt have been using it for years. It is the best we have ever tasted. Try it out!

About Me

I love the quote "Life is Beautiful" because it is. We have the beautiful experience of living here on this Earth at such a marvelous time. Even though there is pain and trials - I am so grateful for my life experience. I get to be a stay at home mother at this time in my life. Benjamin is almost 7 years old, and is attending 1st grade in a dual immersion language program - learning Spanish. Reese is 4 years old, and is the excitement and drama in my days. Life truly is beautiful. I also get the experience of watching my nephew Aiden and a couple other kids. Sure it's a lot of work, but it keeps me home with my kids. I am truly so blessed.
